ITBS
Archdiocesan students are tested annually in grades 2-7 using the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). This national examination serves as a standard to assist Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Atlanta in assessing the delivery and mastery of the curriculum. Student performance on the ITBS is utilized by schools to inform annual goals, to guide professional development efforts, and as an indicator in the pursuit of continuous improvement.

ACRE
The Assessment of Catechesis Religious Education (ACRE) is annually administered to all Archdiocesan students, both Catholic and non-Catholic, in grades 5, 8, and 11. The ACRE is produced by the National Catholic Educational Association and serves as an integrated approach to assessment offering both faith knowledge (cognitive domain) as well as beliefs, behaviors, attitudes, and practices (affective domain) sections. Results of the ACRE are used by Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Atlanta to guide the implementation and development of religious instruction and formation.
